I got married not by my own will.
My father sold me to his competitor, Vadim Paley, in exchange for peace between our families. But it didn’t help. My father was murdered almost immediately after my wedding. My husband is a harsh and powerful man. I don’t love him. I’m afraid.
But do I really have a choice?
Since childhood, I was taught to obey. And I will fulfill my duty. I’ll be Vadim’s obedient and exemplary wife who doesn’t ask unnecessary questions—even though he’s twice my age and his impulsive son is my age.
His son. He looks at me like this… But we can’t.
